Wack-a-Mole at the Legislature—HB128 is baaack!
by Larry Geller
Yes, it’s back. If you’ve been following this, it seems the legislature has indeed been playing a game with us—find the disappearing corporate campaign spending limits.
No sooner did I write that a $25,000 limit had appeared suddenly in HB128 than the bill was pulled from the agenda and the text removed from the Capitol website.
The bill is to be heard Thursday. The new text is here. It’s long, and I’m still trying to figure it out, so more on this later.
